Pros

Working Retail has its challenges and its rewards, for sure. If you're going to work Retail, The Container Store is the company to work for. The environment, the culture and the people make it an incredibly rewarding company to work for. Lots of amazing products (and a fantastic employee discount!!) and lots of way to be creative.

Cons

Like any Retail career, the biggest downside, is the schedule. The Container Store does plan and schedule three weeks out, so you always know when you're working but it is a schedule that includes a mixture of mornings, nights and weekends and there are never two days off together.

Pros

Everyone from director level on down in my department was great. Very collaborative. Gave you autonomy to do and try new things.

Cons

Where do I start…Sr. Leadership is TERRIBLE. I mean absolutely horrific. No direction and plans were changing at the drop of a dime after the BB&B “merger”. You could feel the shift in the culture, just NASTY attitudes and taking the employees for granted. The new CEO and the rest of Sr. level execs acted like everyone was just expendable workhorses. They touted reopening the headquarters cafe as some awesome benefit so they could bring people back to the office full time. If you’re going to be bullish and require everyone back, have some guts and just do it. But don’t act like a cafe is some life changing benefit to get everyone excited. Anyway, blind leading the blind. The merit increase or raises - non existent. No 401k match. Nothing positive because the company is so broke. The new store concept sounds a mess. Save yourself and don’t even apply, let alone accept an offer. Joel Bines is no longer the CEO. He was a great guy and I think he had great ideas. Marcus Lemonis is the new CEO and I would give him a thumbs down.
